IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED SEWING IIVIPLEMENTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 2] 2,481, dated February 18, 1879; application filed December 12, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW J. LYTLE, of Hillsborough, in the county of Highland and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Ripper, Button-Hole Cutter, Knife, Eraser, and Lettor-Opener; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the ac companying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side view of the case with the blades inclosed therein, and Fig. 2 a side view showing the blades opened.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a device which shall embrace and combine the qualities of a ripper, button-hole cutter, knife, eraser, and letter-opener; and to enable others skilled in the art to properly make and use it, I will describe its construction and operation.

A represents the case or handle, which may be made in any convenient shape suitable to the inclosed instruments. 1) is a knife-blade, and c the button-hole cutter, ripper, letteropener, 850. Both the blade I) and buttonhole cutter are secured and adapted to operate similarly to a blade in the ordinary pocketknife.

In Fig. 2 is seen the shape of the buttonhole cutter, 850. It has two curved cuttingedges, ee, which meet at the point x, which peculiarly adapts the device to the several purposes for which it is intended.

If it be desired, a piece of rubber maybe secured between the sides of the case or handle for erasing pencil-marks.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of button-hole cutter 0, blade I), and handle A, all arranged to operate substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

A. J. LYTLE.
